Triangle East Magazine Highlights Wedding Trends, Eclectic Dining

“We found that spring 2008 wedding flowers will be all about sassy colors that make a statement – with a little bit of bling adding an exclamation mark,” says Kerry Watson Garner, editor of the magazine. “Engagement rings used to be the star of the show, but wedding bands, now lavishly detailed, are giving engagement rings a run for their money.”

TEM’s first annual “Tastes of Triangle East” article highlights the region’s eclectic dining options from wiener schnitzel, sushi, chicken salad sandwiches and dry-aged, bone-in sirloin to pickle chips, buffalo wings, steamed oysters and more. Featured restaurants include Kaze Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi, Sunny Side Too Oyster Bar, Edelweiss Bakery & Café, The Pink Teacup, Cleveland Draft House and 1705 Prime.

This issue’s Community Focus centers on the Garner Senior Center, which welcomes 2,000 active adults every day. Between the Tai Chi classes, card games, aerobics and multitude of other offerings, the center buzzes with activity from open until close.

Readers can also discover great treats for Valentine’s Day in the magazine’s Sweet Spot section, featuring raspberry cheesecake fudge from Sweet Carolina Gourmet, truffles from The Chocolate Works & More, and sweet potato sticky buns from The Plain Jane Baking Co.
